Following a field visit to a guava farm alongside BSSC in early February, VNF’s journey within the Plastics Innovation Programme (PIP) – supported by UNDP – is now entering a pivotal phase: consolidating trial results, sharing field experiences, and exploring pathways for broader real-world application.
Field observations, farmer feedback, and trial results from the chitosan-based bioplastic bag solution tested on guava crops have laid the groundwork for VNF and its partners to convene a focused thematic workshop:
“BIOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS FROM SHRIMP BY-PRODUCTS FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE: FROM RESEARCH TO REAL-WORLD APPLICATION”
Date & Time: 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM, 06 May 2026
Venue: Đức Hòa Commune, Tây Ninh Province
Lead Organizer: Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF)
Key Discussion Topics:• Research findings and field trial results under the PIP – UNDP Programme
• Testimonials from farmers participating in the pilot model
• Introduction of VNF’s biological product line for crop cultivation
• Open Q&A session on commercialization strategies and model scale-up
This workshop serves as a platform to connect businesses, experts, regulatory bodies, and the agricultural community in advancing biological solutions derived from shrimp by-products toward practical application – contributing to sustainable agriculture and a circular economy.
